GEORGE TOWN: Pharmacists must inform and educate the public on the effects of over-the-counter medicine when selling them,Penang health, welfare and caring society committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said yesterday.
He said there were pharmacists who were dispensing medicine without letting the buyers know the side-effects.
“The pharmacists should vet the buyers to ensure they are legitimate users of the medicine and are not underaged or addicted,”he said.
“Many people do not even know the dosage of paracetamol. Some people take as many as eight tablets a day which can be harmful,” he told a press conference in Komtar.
